​A story about sisters. A story about love. A story about how it feels when someone close to you is sick. When the author’s uncle was diagnosed with cancer, she wrote this text for her children, to help them name and explore the complicated feelings borne of heartbreaking situations.

"Lovely and healing."
​-- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED

"This reassuring work provides comfort to a young child struggling to understand a serious illness, and is a testament that the close bonds between siblings can withstand even the worst storms."
-- The Horn Book Magazine

"The illustrations are absolutely beautiful."
-- PSLA Literature Review

"This is a warm and gentle book to start conversations with littles about serious illnesses, and to help them begin to make sense of it all."
